Just About Glad Lyrics - Elvis Costello

I'm just about glad that I knew you once 

And it was more than just a passing acquaintance 

I'm just about glad that it was a memory 

That doesn't need constant maintenance 

There are a few things that I regret 

But nothing that I need to forget 

For all of the courage that we never had 

I'm just about glad 

Just about glad we didn't do that thing 

Just about glad we didn't have that fling 

Just about glad we didn't give it a try 

Just about glad, is that a tear in your eye? 

And on the few times I rang to propose 

There was a man there or so I suppose 

The greatest lover that you never had 

I'm just about glad

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

They called time and vodka and lime 

In some far flung Canadian club 

(Just about glad) 

And there I was just waiting to fall 

Like a toe just aching to stub 

(Just about glad) 

Later on I could never accept it 

When you finally gave it all to him 

(Just about glad) 

And you said that my nurse was sweet 

But her lamp was just beginning to dim 

I'm just about glad 

That we never did that thing we were going to do 

I'm just about glad I can look you in the eye 

But I can't say the same for you 

Photos 

And though the passion still flutters and flickers 

It never got into our knickers 

For all of the courage that we never had 

I'm just about, I'm just about 

I'm just about, I'm just about 

Just about glad we didn't do that thing 

Just about glad we didn't have that fling 

Just about glad we didn't give it a try 

Just about glad, is that a tear in your eye? 

And it's all just a stupid creation 

Of my feverish imagination 

If I'm the greatest lover that you never had 

I'm just about, I'm just about 

I'm just about, I'm just about 

Just about glad we didn't do that thing 

Just about glad we didn't have that fling 

Just about glad we didn't give it a try 

Just about glad, is that a tear in your eye? 

Is that a tear in your eye? 

Is that a tear in your eye?
